> Collagen / Lip Augmentation and Scar Treatments

Collagen is a protein that acts as the support structure of the skin. In young skin, the collagen framework is intact and the skin remains moisturized and elastic. Over time, the support structure weakens and skin loses its elasticity. Additionally, scars may occur over time.

Collagen is used as a tissue filler for softening lines around the mouth, augmenting lips, and dealing with early degrees of muscle loss around the mouth that occur with the aging process. Collagen treatments can bring back a youthful appearance to your lips - and create a fuller lip line.
